There’s a magical new pumpkin patch opening in West Cork this autumn

By Yay Cork August 12, 2026

Attention, Halloween fans.

If you’re already counting down to pumpkin season, there’s a fresh spot to add to your autumn bucket list.

A new autumnal attraction is coming to Ardfield near Clonakilty – and it sounds like the perfect excuse for a vibey day out.

St. James’ GAA in Ardfield has announced plans to transform its grounds into The Pumpkin Pitch, a brand-new autumn and Halloween experience. The GAA grounds will be given a full seasonal makeover, with pumpkins, autumn colours, creative displays, themed areas and plenty of photo opportunities.

Organisers say visitors can expect a mix of autumn vibes, pumpkins, Halloween, family fun and a little bit of magic, with the club teasing that it has “big plans” for the event.

And if you’re already planning your autumn calendar, there’s not too long to wait for tickets; they go on sale on September 1st via Eventbrite, while the exact dates and full details of the experience are set to be announced in the coming weeks.

So, if wandering through pumpkin-filled displays, snapping some seriously autumnal photos and getting into the Halloween spirit sounds like your kind of day out, The Pumpkin Pitch is one to watch.

Save the date for September 1st and keep an eye out for the full reveal.
